Code used:

// The path to the documents directory.
//string dataDir = RunExamples.GetDataDir_OCR() + “SampleTiff.tiff”;

                            //// Create an initialize an instance of OcrEngine
                            OcrEngine engine = new OcrEngine();
                            Stream stream = new MemoryStream(rcImage.Image);

                            // Set the OcrEngine.Image property by loading a multipage TIFF from disk, memory or URL
                            engine.Image = ImageStream.FromStream(stream, ImageStreamFormat.Jpg);

                            // Set OcrEngine.ProcessAllPages to true in order to process all pages of TIFF in single run
                            engine.ProcessAllPages = true;

                            // Call OcrEngine.Process method to perform OCR operation
                            if (engine.Process())
                            {
                                // Retrieve the list of Pages
                                Page[] pages = engine.Pages;

                                // Iterate over the list of Pages
                                foreach (Page page in pages)
                                {
                                    // Display the recognized text from each Page
                                    Console.WriteLine(page.PageText);
                                }
                            }

@Gertus,

The sample code that you have shared is used to process TIFF file having multiple frames. Furthermore we have evaluated the sample input image that you have shared. The image contains colored background. After trimming the image, we are able to obtain results. Sample code snippet is given below and trimmed image is attached for your reference.

CODE:

            var sb = new StringBuilder();
            OcrEngine ocrEngine = new OcrEngine();
            ocrEngine.Image = ImageStream.FromFile(@"debonairs.JPG");

            if (ocrEngine.Process())
            {
                sb.Append(ocrEngine.Text);
                sb.Append(Environment.NewLine);
            }
            Console.WriteLine(sb);

Great thank you. Is there anyway to get a 30 day trail to get access to the full text result?

We are building a proof of concept for a project we are pitching for and I need to access if we can get hold of the relevant text on all the different documents that can be uploaded into the proposed system.
